ALTA, Wyo. — Turn, pump, glide, slash and ride. The most recent Teton Surf Classic in 2019 blew the doors off exceeding all expectations.
The Teton Surf Classic is returning to Grand Targhee Resort for its third year on March 27, 2021. This year we’re turning up the heat as the Park Crew resets the North Pole Terrain Park for another surf/skate-inspired, snowboard-only event. Thanks to Mountain Dew, Professional Skateboarders Sean Malto and Curren Caples will be joining us as special guests this year. Though Red Gerard will no longer be joining us, you can plan to see him at Grand Targhee on closing weekend: April 11, 2021.
A snowboard demo will be taking place at the event venue, and all are welcome to demo boards throughout the day. Helmets must be worn by all participants and masks are mandatory at the venue.
Registration for the competition is closed with all 125 competition slots filled.
